Volunteer at the GreenFields
Volunteering can be one of the most rewarding activities of your life. While residents of our retirement communities receive a full day of activities and rehabilitation, they truly thrive from interaction with visitors. Our volunteers at The GreenFields say:
“I get more out of being here than the residents I help!”
These are people who give their time and talents to others, and they are a vital component of The GreenFields.
Who volunteers?
Those that volunteer at The GreenFields come from all walks of life and include homemakers, retirees, students (minimum age of 16) and professionals.
What is the time commitment?
You can volunteer at The GreenFields for a few hours, once a week, once a month or as fits your schedule. We ask volunteers to commit to a minimum of 20 hours of service at one of our retirement communities within a year.
